my older custom work

[MindsetOverhaul]

hi. here are some of my customs (shown in no particular order).
i've been doing this for a bit over a year and i gotta say, chopping up transformers and building my own has become highly addictive. build-wise, they're far from seamless and my paint apps are generally rush-jobs (lots of weathering to hide the fact that i can't paint to save my life), basically far from the work of my idles of the kitbash arena, but, more positively they're sturdy and can take just about as much rough handling as regular TFs. you can see alt modes, additional pics and a few other customs in my gallery at sector70 but from now on i'll be posting all my new stuff here. thanks for looking

Some bloody nice work here man , you've done rather well with your choice of part compositions and especially the paint work ; excellent job Mindset, I'm looking forward to seeing your new pieces when you get around to them.

i particularly like the Blitzwing, and that optimus look interesting. I like Blurr too i thought about do something similar myself

[MindsetOverhaul]

wow, thanks Hursticon!

loophole, RE: blurr - the inspiration for that came from (and full credit goes to) a WIP that the legendary Tom (dave) Servo began a long time ago and to my knowledge still hasn't finished on account of his high demand for commissions that keep him busy. either way, the junker G1 blurr would've remained exactly that if he didn't plant that seed.

and out of interest, do you/would you do commission paints and/or is that something you'd be interested in doing? your clean paint works are always tight as hell!

Can they all transform?

i have done it once in the past did a batch of Sunstreakers and Sideswipes for some members here, it all depends on what it is and how busy i am at the time.

I enjoyed your customs gallery, thanks for sharing!

[MindsetOverhaul]

Thanks Sam!

Loophole, i gotta check in with you about commish sometime. i'd be stoked to rig a deck to suit us both

GoktimusPrime, shockwave can transform but not in any reasonable G1 fashion, likewise Galvatron. i built them as one-shot pieces for a shonky stop motion ani i was working on but that died in the arse and they're currently back on my WIP desk. Eventually, Galvatron will be transformable to fit a classics/henkei aesthetic and Shockwave is getting a general makeover (legs and forearm/fist) but won't be transformable.

The Blitzwing and the Daniel are particularly interesting.
